Highlights
Pet care experience
Your Pets' Favorite Sitter
Hello! I discovered my passion for pet care as an auntie to friend' dogs and looking after them, which quickly grew into a thriving, word-of-mouth pet-sitting service built entirely on trust and stellar referrals. I know how stressful it is to leave your pets behind, and my primary goal is to give you total peace of mind. I am highly adaptable and experienced with dogs of all sizes, from tiny Chihuahuas to stubborn 80-pound Bulldogs. Pup mamas often tell me they won't leave their doggos with anyone else because of the deep personal attention and kind care I provide. I look forward to giving your dog or cat that same elite level of focus and attention. And of course, sending you plenty of pupdates.

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I provide pet care exclusively within the comfort and familiarity of your own home, as I do not host animals in my personal residence. This environment ensures your pet stays relaxed, stress-free, and safe in their own territory without the disruption of changing settings. When house sitting or doing drop-ins, I strictly follow your specific security instructions, ensure all doors and gates remain securely locked, and can easily crate your dog if that is part of their normal routine. And of course, you get regular pup-dates.
Ratings and reviews
Kristen is absolutely incredible. She has been watching our two dogs for over three years now and I cannot tell you how at peace I feel when she's with them. I had such a difficult time leaving my boys to go on trips before she started watching them, and now I have absolutely ZERO worries when she's with them. She is incredibly responsible and thoughtful and sends me updates and photos throughout our travels. The dogs love when she comes to walk them/stay with them and my guilt has disappeared when we leave lol. LOVE Kristen and can't imagine all of our lives without her!!!
Kristen has been looking after my dog Buster — a 67-pound, occasionally reactive bulldog — for years now, and I genuinely cannot recommend her highly enough. What sets Kristen apart isn't just that she's reliable and responsible (though she absolutely is). It's that she actually cares. When Buster is with her, he isn't just being "looked after" — he's being loved. He sleeps in her bed, gets all the cuddles, and is treated exactly the way I'd treat him myself. That peace of mind is everything. Buster can be a little reactive on leash. He's a big, strong dog and not always the easiest to handle. Kristen manages him with complete confidence and calm — I've never had a single moment of worry about her walking him thanks to her experience and instincts with dogs. From the photos she sends of other dogs she looks after it's clear that every dog in her care gets the same attention. Buster is obviously her favorite, but I suspect every dog owner feels the same way! If you're looking for someone who will treat your dog like their own, Kristen is the one. She's trustworthy, capable, loves pups and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone. — Dana - a very happy dog mom (and an even happier Buster)

Schedule
I work as a personal fitness trainer, meaning my client sessions are split with natural gaps throughout the day. Because I am only away for short blocks of two to four hours max at a time, I can easily accommodate early morning, midday, and evening walks or drop-ins. This flexible, active routine allows me to easily fit into your pet's established schedule without long gaps in their care. I am also fully available for overnight house-sitting bookings on weekdays AND weekends, providing your pet with dedicated companionship and structure while you are away.
